Pointing out penises in classical (cổ điển) fine art (mỹ thuật) is a childhood tradition as hallowed as underlining swear words in the dictionary.

As you grow up, however, you’re supposed to start keeping those snickers (tiếng cười khúc khích, tiếng cười thầm) to yourself, and commenting instead on things like composition and brushwork (phong cách vẽ riêng của một nghệ sĩ).

It is a rare scientific research paper that recaptures this youthful fascination with artistic naughty bits, but a new one in a British medical journal gave it a try, and made a curious discovery about art history.

It seems penises (dương vật) are getting bigger in paintings, and this change is accelerating. That is the conclusion of a team of urologists (khoa tiết niệu) reported recently in the BJU International journal, in their article “Depictions of penises in historical paintings reflect changing perceptions of the ideal penis size.”

“In paintings depicting nude (khỏa thân) males, the size of the penis has gradually increased throughout the past seven centuries, and especially after the 20th century,” they report.
